Enterprise 2.0 Architecture is not Easy

Enterprise 2.0 Architecture is a complete expression of the enterprise.  The equation values of collaboration and communication provide solutions for supporting goals, visions, & missions of the enterprise.  The equation of business remains fluid, therefore the structure should not be rigid.

The complexity of business  is why it takes a true collaborative effort to create successful Enterprise 2.0 solutions.  This is why I am thankful for the information these artists/architects so willingly share with the community.

Thank You!
